I can't think of any, as once your out of League 2 it will take years to get back into. The club will also lose lots of revenue crowd and tv wise. If Cheltenham did that then I'd stop watching them. Also, what league would the league 2 side join?

Ample compensation would far exceed any financial gains of league 1 and enable them to have the financial structure to move up next season. That side would remain in league 2 obviously, just one less promotion place for conference sides, and all the conference sides get like 1-2M from celtic to share as compensation for the change that one season.
It is win/win. Celtic get into the system without having to spend 10 years moving up, conference gets a pay-day to improve competiveness and one lucky league 2 side will have the financial stability and prowess to go up next season and a much btter chance of survival.
As long as the pay it shouldn't really be that much of a problem.

The only way Rangers/Celtic should be allowed in the English system is if the rest of the Scottish ladder joins them and the FA(s) create one british system. No one ever thinks of the teams in Scotland who the big two are helping keep afloat because they generate cash when they play these two teams, or the tradition the SPL has.

If league 2 was to be extended to 25 league 2 sides, then why would Celtic end up buying a clubs place?

What tradition? since 1998 the league has existed with the sole purpose of giving Celtic and Rangers an edge and ensuring they would be the Real Madrid and Barcelona of scottish football. The entire system is skewed in a way that Celtic and Rangers will always be the ones representng Scotland on the big stage and get most of the money. Tradition died away in 1998.
